Bulb Wattage Rear NumberPlate Lights ?

[Defiance]

Hiya's,
Put a bulb in NS side of rear plate light and it's way too high (heats up a fair bit and is obviously way brighter than NS one)

Can't find in haynes manual the wattage etc i need (maybe someone knows section etc

Or anyone know offhand correct size etc (clear cigar shaped bulb)

Cheers

Ciao

i believe their 5w festoon bulbs

I don't "know" but i was going to guess 5w also. Festoon is such a random name for them, they should just call them sausage bulbs..

yeah, i've always thought festoon was a weird name for them but hey what can you do! after i posted it i had a sudden thought, they may be 5w capless?
